[VitaCreations]

pussies are now jumping over him xD

[nunezchamp]

[laptoph4x]

Doesn't matter, old ladys pissed .

[9toes9fingers]

i guess if you would have pulled out the feedback tricks their might have been some "turn that sh@t off" directions from the school staff, nice, but redo this and post as you'd really like to play it, please

[mrleo171]

meu brother eu nem sendo americano toko melhor q isso o seu hino kkkkk

[ViperRob42]

Fuckin brilliant, well done sir!

[VoodooKush]

[Cr125stin]

That is so cool! I felt the need to stand up and remember Woodstock when I was listening to this. Great job!

[noobsrus21900]

[zarrismuzik]

[fretboard89]

i so wanna do this



[vw108rocks]

1:40-1:46 you're terrifyingly good at that motion...... ;)

[vaibanez17]

If this style of music makes you feel more patriotic and get that emotion that you really love your country more than the "traditional" way of playing the song, then go with this every time. That's the thing about music, everyone likes something different. Why not play to their likes? If someone likes polka, then polka national anthem. The music brings the feeling only when it strikes what you like. Otherwise, it's just "there"

[snorky500]

Man, what an awesome graduation you had!

[keiichi33]

Good job! Jimi would be proud of you.

Way to end the year bro.

[06lellis]

That was rubbish you cocky *Insert obscene word here* Stop showing off and learn it properly.

[AmonOfTheSahelijos]

@06lellis learning this solo properly is learning it improperly.

[CommonSenceMafia]

@06lellis fuck off

[alteregoash]

I don't think the woman behind him was on the committee that decided to let this happen.

[Angelmind4]

If only your guitar was upside down lol

[crazyunclerex59]

Pretty fucking cool kid, my hat is off to you.

[AtlRealtor1]

[jordanhfurness]

That would be fun at your graduation

[MrWolfenz]

[howley5771]

I'm almost 50 years old (gasp!!), and that was fucking awesome! That took balls, my friend! I'm a teacher, and I just love the stuffed shirts standing next to you waiting for it to be over. Hope you continue to have the balls to stand out above the rest.

[capthamburg]

The fact that you screwed up in the beginning makes this a better performance.

[1badcummins1]

Balls! Jimmy lefct a hell uvah path! Good Job man!

[69bitboy]

looks like the dude from karate kid

[TOPIKTOAD]

epic



[heidemannish]

After the wrong note i thought "oh this guy is shit" then he prooved me wrong!

[1975Marquis]

I got to give credit for even having the nerve to attempt to even try it. Now you know the orignal could never be duplicated but still job well done

[GARKize]

Amazing wish I could do tht except for wrong note at beginning lol

[LedWolf7]

AMERICA: Home Of The KICKASS!!!!!

[garrateen9]

[noiseonlyplease]

[noiseonlyplease]

[peruvian4041]

@noiseonlyplease yeaaah man haaha

[nexusvision]

That's what it's all about!!! Do it at your next graduation!!!! This is what it's all about!!!! You did great Dude!!!

[guitar19904]

fuckin legend! that was awsome

[seanp777]

Nicely done, I got to play the national anthem for my son's football game, I kept it a little more traditional than u but that was really cool. Nice run and over the fretboard bend - 80's hair metal flair!! - at the end of the song. Don't listen to the haters rock on \m/

[Dropsender]

That was awesome. Wow. Really well done. You nailed the spirit of Jimi's version.

[MotownLyrics22]

You were a little of, but overall pretty good. Keep it up. Hallelujah!

[stupidscrewedseries]

where did you learn this? all the chords/tabs i find dont sound like it -.-

[terrapincaesar]

Class of '08 baby!!! This smokes! Keep playing the guitar... forever.

[TonyBoy525]

I'm impressed! That was awesome! I wish you continued success!

[leefire2]

Good shit right there. Soul power

[lillietree]

Awesome, Jimi was waching and playing with you !!! Great job young man. i am proud, God bless the USA

[queenofthejungle]

Who says that kids today are out of touch with the classics? Excellent job, young man!

[rudemood2011]

Fuck that lady standing behind him really seemed to enjoy it.............

[Algebrator]

Good job! Enjoyed it! You lack the finesse of Hendrix but you sure have the guts to try to imitate a hero! We pray your life goes on longer than his and that you are the patriot he was!

[TheHeadmanmr]

This cant be real. This has got to be the coolest thing Ive ever seen

[TheMourningGlory]

Man, I have that same strat, same color and everything! I'm just jealous that you could do this. Way to rip it up patriotic style!

[voodoochild1311]

Hendrix would be sooo proud. Good playing and pure rock n roll spirit

[samgold251]

i like listening to this instead of the jimi hendrix version

[mrandmrsbrock]

Awesome Star Spangled Banner!! Rather hear this then someone dragging out notes!!

[mr4y]

Great cover, but it's missing some whammy action.

[Khirzask]

That was BADASS!

[Br4yden4]

Hahahahahah dude that was amazing!!!!!

[cvrtops101]

dude that was pretty awesome props to you

[m1963johnson]

Idc what anyone says, that sounded pretty damn good for you not to be hendrix

[dirtyxmexican]

[honkasalo90]

When to guy hits wah wah..that guy next to lady almost laught her ass off

[TheBlackWreck]

Jimi would have loved it, to be sure.

[TheBlackScarecrow]

[masivekill]

\

[masterjoey1029]

[kaynek00l]

thank you you may be seated

[bishopmitchellhall]

BAD ASS!! Also I like the old guy in the background. Hes enjoying the hell out of it

[bigcountry151991]

the feeling you get after you do this is great. i played the anthem at my graduation also. it was epic. good job man

[TheRDMagee]

I just watched the original and was thinking how great it would be to play like that. Dude, and you're doing it, that's fantastic!

[beautifulalways4]

pretty cool dude..that lady is pissed...

[TheGlonrob]

You put a smile on this old hippy's face!



[Jebbiesmom]

great work~ you did a great job!

[BPSdman]

that was way better than hendrix, in my opinion hendrix did a terrible job doing the anthem

[TheLol509]

AMAZING!!

[phatcrayonz]

Holy shit. That was good.

[RyanMessi]

@shadowpimppf : i wanna see you upload a video in a graduation playing this song.

[YankBrass]

this is freaking awesome

[jimmi161]

Did anyone cry ? I know liberals hate hearing things like the Star Spangled Banner because it may offend foreigners.

[lapopofighting]

@jimmi161 doesn't even make sense man. liberalism has to do with the amount of government regulation of the economy and society, not with hating the national anthem.

[xMOBxTriikCORE]

This is awesome

[shadowpimppf]

you suck!

[dickran2142battle]

@shadowpimppf shut up you fuck

[FaulFerkel]

Well played! Such a soulful performance.

[murdok182]

I had to re-read the comment below mine a few times i could not believe what i was reading... anyway. You got it right dude with the "war sound FX" and everything.

[MissInsane1000]

@k77jones needs practice? this guy is playing star spangled banner at a highschool graduation, he is fuckin nervous man! wouldn you be nervous? and dont forget that jimi hendrix critisized the usa with this song! so the young man was surely even more nervous, because he didn´t know how the people would react. like you see it on the woman in the background, she was really pissed off! i am sure the song is not easy to play and he played it very well, but the most important thing is the statement!!

[PrizePirate]

@MissInsane1000 Quite honestly jimi hendrix played like shit and this kid made his star spangled banner song a lot better. Whoever said he needed practice needs a reality check.

[MissInsane1000]

@PrizePirate Jimi Hendrix played like shit??? Oh man, do you have problems with your ears?? XD Hendrix was one of the greatest guitar players EVER! He played with so much passion and you see it on his face - he played guitar like he was loving a woman!

[MissInsane1000]

oh man, big up!!!

[Soldano88]

That's awesome.You played at your grad ceremony how cool!Nice shredding too.

[1986Lynott]

Rock on Brother !!!! Fuck em !

[thekalidescopeaffect]

its kids like me and him that will hopefully revive the spirit of the 60s..

[bluebirdreviews]

bravo and congratulations !



[MrTrumanBrain]

It looked like you really enjoyed that! A big thumbs up from me. Respect coming your way bud :)

[0zzyfan44]

Cool!!!

[cc014m5507]

that is f*cking ace !!!!!!!! :)

[skybluemarshall]

Let me get this right. You stand on a stage, at the age of 17- 18 years old, unaccompanied. You make a very solid effort to play your personal version, of a master musician's song, in front of hundreds of people and you make only a few minor mistakes. And then, people have the nerve to say you failed and sucked? Translation: "I have never played an instrument, nor will I ever have the guts to perform, but I'm really good at LISTENING to music and that somehow qualifies me as a music critic."

[inspironzonk]

Well done. You dont look old enough to remember Jimi Hendrix, but you certainly got his Star S Banner right. Well done!

[assanderyeah]

he fucked up

[revolution1940]

@assanderyeah you fucked up.
